V minule schfizi dne 7ho zaki, ktera byla velmi slabe navkivena con bylo pro mne trochu zklarnanim, byla projednavaria otazka sokola ale bylo teeeno, ze sokol tady musi lakt co organisace neZ by ho Fad bodporoval.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Texas Jaycees Search Life Insurance For Outsanding Young Companies The number of legal reserve life inFarmer surance companies in the United States was about 1,300 at the end of 1957; as of June 30, 1957, the number was 1,246.

In the period of one year, mid-year 1956 to mid-year 1957, 135 new legal reserve life companies were formed in the United States. There was a 91 per cent growth in the number of life companies serving the American public in the preiod from year-end 1950 to midyear 1957.

Ever state now has at least one life insurance company. At mid-year 1957, Texas had 338 companies domiciled here leading the state list. The states next in rank were: Lousiana with 112 companies; Arizona, 54; South Carolina, 48; Alabama, 45; Indiana, 42; Illinois, 39.

The life insurance companies located in the, South and West numbered 945 at mid-1957, more than twice the total in those areas at the close of 1950. The new companies have contributed to the proportionately large increase in life insurance ownership that have taken place in those sections of the country in that period.

There were 300 cities in the United States in which home offices of life companies were located in 1957. Dallas, with 135, headed the list. Others ranking in number of companies locally situated included: Houston, 64; Fort Worth, 39; New Orleans, 39; Chicago, 26; Philadelphia, 26. There were 34 cities with ten or more company main offices.

Of the 1,246 companies in the United States at mid-year 1957, 1,081 or 87 per cent were stock companies; mutual companies numbered 165 or,13 per cent. The mutual companies, however accounted for 63 per cent of total life insurance in force.

At mid-year. 1957, 16 of the life companies were over 100 years old. Companies with over $1 billion of life insurance in force numbered 61.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

"I pledge Allegiance to my Flag and to the Country for which it stands; One Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and Justice for All."

Mission Accomplished From the very start of the agitation over integration of schools—first in college and then the high school and elementary levels — there has been more than a little suspicion that the NAACP is less interested in education than it is in wielding a political "big stick".

There has also been more than a little suspicion that the activities of this organization are inspired by no small amount of communistic direction.

The NAACP has exercised its big stick. It has wrung from the Supreme Court of the United States politically inspired decisions that are completely without legal foundation, thereby subverting the court and undermining the constitutional concept of government.

They have set white against white, black against black, and white and black against each other. The NAACP with its political big stick has set back race relations at least two generations. It's creating chaos of near reconstructiondays proportions.

Just as this organization — which has never seen fit to elect a Negro president —has used members of the Negro race as its dupes, so has it been used as a 'dupe by the communist to create internal strife, destroy the educational system of the states of this union, and acquire power over political leaders.

The Texas Junior Chamber of Commerce's annual search for the year's "Outstanding Young Faimer" is now underway, and Jaycees over the state are urging communities to nominate local farmers between 21 and 35 years of age who they feel deserve special recognition.

Any Texas farmer within the proper age limit is eligible for the "Outstanding Young Farmer" title, and any community group can sponsor any young man of their choice for the honor. Basis of Judging in the state-wide contest will be progress in farming, soil and natural resources conservation practices and personal efforts toward community betterment.

From community nominees, a panel of judges will select the Outstanding Young Farmer next February. The winner will be guest of honor at a state Jayceesponsored banquet and will receive an all-expense trip to the National Awards Program in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, next April, where the nation's four top young farmers of 1958 will be selected. The national program is sponsored by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce and the American Petroleum Institute Committee on Agriculture.

Outstanding young Texas farmer for 1957 was Johnnie E. Stefka of Caldwell, a cattle, dairy, cotton and grain farmer.

Further information on the young farmer contest can be obtained by contacting any local Junior Chamber of Commerce office or by writing to Mr. Joe Smetana, Chairman, Agriculture Coiromittee, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Perry-Brooks Building, Austin, Texas. )

Trend Of Life Insurance Investments A picture of a nation on the go is portrayed by the U.S. Bureau of the'Census in data covering the mobility of the population of the United States in the period from 1947 to 1957.

This decade ranks as one of the great periods of internal migration in the nation's history, and at the same time one of spectacular economic growth and steadily increasing living standards.

The Census Bureau figures show that, on the average, about a fifth of the civilian population moved every year in the period. The number of movers varied from year to year, but the percentage, in relation to the population were only minor. ,Fore the year ending in April 1957, the number of movers was just under 32 million, the second highest on record.

Of these, 21 1/2 million, or about two out of every three who changed homes, stayed in the same county in which they lived. The other 10 1/1 million movers were about equally divided between those that crossed county lines within a state and those that went from one state to another. ,Mobility of a population by its very nature imparts a dynamic quality to an economy, and this has been apparent in the economic records of the last decade and in the widening of oportunities for the individual. But mobility has not been confined to people alone. It is also evident in many areas of economic activity --- in the decentralization trend in business and industry, in the extent to which new plants haVe been built outside city limits all over the country, and in the boom in shopping centers and other types of building as well as homes in the suburbs.

VES.TNfK — WEST, TEXAS The search for employment is a great mobility factor ann also tends to make people move greater tances. Regionally, Western ers are the rnovingest people in the country.

Underlying the population movements of the 1947-57 decade is the great migration from farm to urban areas. In 1957 there were more than 27 million persons living on the farms, or nearly a fifth of the entire population. The comparable figure last year was under 21 million, or only 12 per cent.

District I Holds Meeting At Lodge Osveta at Kovar Upon invitation from officers of District I, the Editor and his wife made the fall meeting of District I, held in the spacious Lodge Osveta 38 Hall at Kovar, Texas.

We found Kovar in a very picturesque contry setting in a rustic countryside and the Hall was being put in rediness for the Meeting. Long tables covered in snow white with benches on each side lined the Hall. On the stage the American and Texas flags stood in their holders on each side. Three small, pennants hung on the stage backdrop with the words Podpora, Lidskost, Bratrstvi, the SPJST slogan. The English translation on the back side of the pennants: Protection, Humanity, Brotherhood.

Numerous containers about the Hall held huke bouquets of crepe myrtle, s p ider lillies, and coral vine blossoms with touches of greenery.

.® WEST, -

The kitchen was buzzing, however, for the tables were already laden with sandwiches, pastries and cakes like at a fair and the goOd sisters were cutting the poppy seed rolls, the cinnamon-nut rolls, the cakes, strudle, and putting kolaches in big mounds upon plates. As new arrivals came in, more of such delicious food was brought to the good sisters to prepare for serving. The aroma of coffee perking permeated the Hall, there was much animated greeting of, sisters and brothers as they came into the Kovar Hall. It was especially , nice meeting the two reporters from this District 1, namely Sisters Mary Stepan and Lillie Ivicic. This was our first opportunity to meet them although we had known of them from the very nice Czech as well as English reports coming out of that District.

Brother Vaclav Barina, District I Organizer, called the Meeting to order to welcome all of those present, wishing success to the Meeting about to start; hoping that everyone will enjoy themselves; that we will all think of Kovar as a nice place. He especially welcomed. the Youth present at the Meeting, saying that they are the ones who will carry on this work when our preSent leaders are gone. "We have too much at stake in our organization and we appeal to this youth to work with us." Brother Barina then turned the gavel over to District I President, Brother Trcalek who welcomed the assembly and then introduced the District I, Vice President Brother Vytopil of the Bryan Lodge and Brother St. Regmund also of the Bryan Lodge as Secretary.

Sister Lillie Matejka, was introduced to the Meeting as the District I, Youth Director. She too is from the Bryan Lodge and was here with six carloads of youngsters who were to participate on the Youth Program. Incidentally, Brother Vytapil had 17 grandchildren present at this Meeting. Sister Matejka took over with a prayer for a successful meeting and for harmony and brotherly love in our Order.

The Pledge of Allegience was given by the membership and then America was sung. Sister Ma tejka acknowledged the assistance of Sister Bennie Matejka, Sisters Cech and Maresh for their part in the program. She thanked the parents for bringing their children out especially for bringing them to the rehearsals in prepaation fo the Meeting.

Vitame Vas in Czech was given by a cut lass followed by a lad' . who presented the Welcome in English. Sister Matejka promised us the names of these youngsters and we left without obtaining them. We trust she will write up the

Wednesday, Oct° ,er t 1.958 youth program. A teen-age young lady gave us some very intricate baton twirling which was very interesting to watch.

These baton twirlers compete each year for Championship at the State Fair of Texas and it has been our privilege to watch them in pompetition there. They are truly agile. A piano solo was followed by five youngsters singing "He's Got the Whole Wide World" with gesticulations and then the two Youth leaders, Sister Matejka sang a duet "Kdyz Ja, Libe Spiro."

Guest talent from District II was Ralph Milek and his accordian playing the Tinker Polka, and the Beer Barren Polka. Ralph has played at many of our gatherings and it is always a pleasure to hear him play.

Vice-President Joe Vytopil gave us a Czech reading of how "Pappa fared with the family on the day Ma went shopping." It provoked a lot of laughter. Ronnie Matejka gave us a cornet solo Rancho Roc, and then a stageful of youngsters sang Beautiful Texas. Another Czech Duct by the Matejkas in Czech and then the Polka Square Dance was executed by the Bryan delegation. This Square Dance was made up by the youngsters themselves.

A symbolic skit SPJST was given by the wee ones with Louis Manthei de claming the symbol of each letter. Then they all sang the Eyes of Texas.

Thus ended the Youth Program to -a thunderous ovation from the audience.

The children were well mannered and they took their parts seriously, consequently, the program proceeded like clockwork. Our sincere thanks for a delightful program Youth of District I! Brother Vytopil opened the business meeting first thanking Lodge Osveta No. 38 for inviting the District to their Hall.

On the wall, behind Brother Votopil, hung the Lodge Charter with a list of their Charter Members. This was encased in a beautiful hand-carved frame, a real work of art. It made one feel that here were folks who really, appreciated those pioneer members who were now long asleep, keeping their names before the membership.

Brother Vytopil thanked the Youth Leaders for their work with the youngsters and , bid the parents to cooperate with the youth Directors and bring the children into the lodge.

Then, allthe members who had departed since the last District I meeting were remembered with a Silent Prayer.

The offices of the Supreme Order, Directors, Editor and visitors were recog)nized. there were three Districts represented besides , District I. The membership was asked to read Brother

WedriP.sday,.- October- '8 ., 1959 pick's article in the Vestnik in both the English and Czech sections saying it was important.

Since Sister Trealek of this Lodge and Brother Vaclav Barina of this District both had Birthdays on this Sunday, Sept. 28th, the best wishes were extended them for many more happy returns of this day. Since it was also the namesday of all persons with the name Vacla y (celebrated in Czechoslovakia instead of birthdays) Brother Barina was also given a rousing ceher for this occasion.

The Editor recalled the organizing of Districts in 1953 and the affects they have had on the membership as well as our Order, stressing the getting to know one onother and working together through the Districts for a common goal the assisting of organizers in selling new policies and working with the youth through the Youth Directors. Brother Hosek called upon us for tolerance, understanding of each other's errors, for the good will of each for the other is true brotherhood.

Brother Hosek bid each one visit the Rest Home in Taylor when possible. "As long as we can hold our youth, we are on the right road," Brother Hosek said.

He also suggested to those present that we all try to have more interesting Lodge Meetings so that the membership would like to attend, other than just the routine reading of the minutes of the last meeting, the repOrts of various offices, etc. He urged the brothers to take their wives, our sisters, with them when they go to a meeting. "These women have worked with you to make a living and have a right to come and discuss Lodge business and they will help make the Lodge meetings well attended and liked.

District I, Director Stepan commented that as long as we keen the "politics" out of our meetings, they will be liked and well attended.

As the various speakers were taking their turn at the microphone, the children were outside having a hilarious time. The huge mery-go 7round and other gym equipment on the Hall grounds were full of laughing youngsters, their cries of joy ringing to the heavens.

Occasionally someone turner around to look out to watch them and shake his head laughing at their glee.

Charles Navratil, Director of the SPJST as well as the Rest Home in Taylor, stated that we must take this enthuiasm that is manifested here today back into on individual lodges, to revive drowsing members and lagging lodges.

Brother Navratil also stated that we have an excellent selection of protection

V2S T N t — WEST, TEXAS available to everyone, for every type of insurance and that we should recommend them to our families and our friends and in this manner We will help our organizers. Brother Navratil co.1,mented that our organizes run into a lot or "emotional resistance" in selling insurance and that sometimes your recommendation to your neighbor of our policies is so much more affective than all the insurance selling the orginizer may give. Talk to your neighbor and then call in your organizer.

Regarding the Rest Home, Brother Navritil informed us that there are now 29 resident guests in the Home and that the Rest Home still has some indebtedness. He bide the charitable hearts of the Texas Czechs not to forsake the Home in their contributions, to see the thing to a finish. "I believe there will be more and more Homes of this kind erected in the years to came," he said, "for years ago our parents lived with their children, but today the trend of modern living, independence and thinking makes the oldsters yearn for independence upon their already debt burdened children." Brother Navrital reminded us that if we didn't plan to ever enter the Home, that there was a definite pleasure and satisfaction to giving to something as worthy as this.

Brother John Koliha, explained the SPJST slogan in English for the benefit of those who did not understand the Czech and stressed holding and drawing our Youth into our lodge work.

Brother Kleperlik made a short talk saying he was glad he finally found the Kovar Hall, for he had a little difficulty locating it in the unfamiliar terrain.

Brother Mikolaj, District II Organizer, invited the assembly to visite their District Meeting. He also asked the membership to help their organizers by bringing prospects and organizers together.

Brother John Trlica of Granger, also spoke briefly, stating that he has been a member of the SPJST for 56 years. In the beginning, new members came by themselves and asked to be accepted into the SPJST Order as they came over from the old country. For them the Order became a way of life, social, cultural, as well as the protective brotherhood. As time went on, our brotherhood established districts and organizers to go out to the prospects, and we must help those organizers.

The editor then gave cognizance to our District, as well as Lodge Reporters and correspondents in both languages.

"It is important for us to know what is going on in your Districts, and your lodges." Brother Hosek complimented Sisters Stepan and Ivicic for their ef-

Strana I forts in keeping the brotherhood informed of activities in that part of the state.• "I want you to know that folks like to read these reports from your community, for they have relatives as well as friends scattered all over our state in communities such as yours."

Brother Barina stated: "The programs are the best enducement of getting the youth into our Order and even though they may not be members now, they a ,ake the best of prospects, for they know us and what we are trying to do."

Brother Barin g thanked all the youth for their nice program.

Brother Barina. delivered a message from Brother Hejny who was attending the Fraternal Congress in Florida at the time. Brother Hejny said that he was proud of the District Organizers and the work they are doing—to keep it up."

Brother Barina spoke in Czech in his witty way, and had everyone laughing at his humor.

Brother Henry Sebesta, prominent figure in Bastrop County spoke next. Many of the membership remembered him as their "teacher" in Ellis County in their childhood and the nostalgic references to schooldays.

In the days of our pioneers, quite a number of such lodges or organizations were organized merely for the purpose of giving the people an oppotunity to take out insurance to insure their families and to provide them with a place to meet once a month and having a social gathering and to give the husband a chance to get away from the hbuse.

There were quite a number of such organizations, one of which, of course, was the SPJST. In the last number of years, many of these organizations or lodges have been absorbed by larger companies or consolidated some of them which are still existing and doing away with meetings. The SPJST I believe, is stronger today than it was 43 years age when I became a member. I would like to put in a plug for the Supreme Lodge, the local lodges, your Vestnik and the only reason we are able to do what we are doing is because of the interest of the people at home. in the office, in the lodges and their communities and on the part of the Supreme Lodge officers for their cooperation and encouragement to carry on the way we have carried on for 50-60 years and I hope that it will be many, many years away that before these gatherings are done away with." Brother Sebesta concluded to an enthusiastic applause. — Many thanks Brother Henry.

We all sang "Hej Slovane" to the acpompaniment of Brother Kleperlik on the piano to adjourn the meeting.

The invitation to partake of the sumptious board was immediately taken up by everyone present. The tantalizing aroma of hot coffee and the heavily laden tables with such wonderful Czech baking art, made too much prompting unnecessary. Everything was wonderful and everyone was so very friendly that it is still a pleasure to think about it.

The Editor and wife again thank all for your kind invitation to be with you and it was so nice to make new friends and see some old ones that we had not seen for quite some tithe, and spent this day amid the genuinely warm friendship that our Texas Cxechs still know how to give.

To All Lodges In District II Dear Brothers and Sisters: In your regular October meetings; please invite and urge all of your memniers to attend the coming District Il. Fall Meeting and Second Annual Youth Achievement Day in Taylor on Sunday, October 19, 1958.

Also urge your youth department members (directly and by way of their parents) to prepare entries in the various divisions and age classes of the talent contest and the handicraft exposition. There will be over $200 in prizes awarded to the winners. Those who enter but do not place will be awarded cash consolation prizes. There will even be door prizes for some young boy and girl just for attending and registering.

You can not win if you do not attend; and if you attend, I am sure that you will always profit in either a monetary way of at the very least by having a very enjoyable day. So why not plan now to attend and have the young members enter the various contests and display some handicraft or other exhibits which would be of interest to other young people and adults alike. If the entry does not fit into the seven special divisions, then it certainly will analify for the eight "Miscellaneous" divisions. Please see Page 20 of the September 24 issue of the Vestnik for the Iietails of the various contests, divisions, Fides, and prizes,

Registration and a short business session will start at 10:00 a.m.; dinner will be served by the host Praha Lodge 29 at 12 noon; and a special youth program will begin at 200 p.m.

Further information about the very interesting featured speaker and other details about this meeting will be announced later in the Vestnik.

30 Live At SPJST Rest Horne; The SPJST Rest Home for the aged on east Lake Drive, Taylor, Texas, is now operating smoothly at near full capacity, and it has developed into a valuable asset to Taylor.

It is an asset to Taylor in that it provides a comfortable, friendly home for the aged people of Taylor, the Taylor area, as well as other sections of the state and nation. And, it is an economic asset, directly and indirectly.

Under advisement, the SPJST Home began its operations last December at a slow pace, taking in only a few guests at a time in order to iron out any kinks.

This plan has worked well, and at the present time the Rest Horne has 30 permanent guests with two others having their applications approved, according to Rudolph Troubil, manager of the Home.

The Rest Home has facilities for 38 people, which leaves only six vacancies after the two people whose applications have been approved, move in.

In addition to the permanent residents, there are people that come to live in the Rest Home for short periods of time, such as two or three weeks, said Mr. Troubil. "They come here just for a rest or a vacation. We can take them for short stays as long as we have vacancies," said the manager.

A friendly, happy atmosphere is found at the Rest Home. The old folks enjoy talking among each other, playing dominoes, reading or watching TV. The Rest Home is providing a home for ten of Taylor's old folks who have taken residence there. In addition, seven Grangerites are are residents of the Home. Other residents are from places such as Cameran, Bryan, Ennis, Victoria, East Bernard. Houston, West, and two are from New Jersey.

Here is a list of the people making the SPJST Rest Home their •hoim Di. W. J. Beck, Taylor; Agnes Cervenka, Granger; Frances Chytil, Bryan; Frank Danek, Ennis; Joseph Fischer, Passic, New Jersey; Bertha Fissher, Passaic, N. J.; Apolena Hranicky, East Bernard ,, Mrs. Andrew Johnson, Tallor; Bertha Kurtzman, Cameron; V. S. Lesikar, Victoria; Wm. Ladewig, Taylor; Rosia Machu, Taylor; Joseph Martinka, Granger; Amalia Mokry, Granger; T. C. Mc Wila Rams, Cameron; Minnie Pipkins, Taylor; C. M. Partain, Taylor; T. J. Partain, Taylor; Anna Shilk, Houston; Alice M. Shiller, Taylor; Lewis Simcik, Granger Mary Scmka, Ennis; Vera. Stefka, lions-

ednesday, October 8, 1958 ton; Ann Toman, East Bernard; John Urbanovsky, West; Frank Vitek, Granger; Rose Walker, Taylor; John P. Wolf, Granger; David C. Young, Granger.

Economically for Taylor, the Rest Home means more to Taylor than most people probably realize. First, there is the operation of the Rest Home. Employed are two porters, one cook and one substitute cook, one waitress, one maid, one nurse, plus the manager and the manager's wife who has full-time job, also.

The Rest Home manager is one who believes in local purchases whenever possible and feasible. More than twothirds of all foods are purchased at local firms in Taylor. All meats. fruits, eggs, vegetables, are purchased locally.

One of the larger items purchased locally is drugs for the guests. "That amount alone is a great one," Mr. Troubil said.

Then there are the visitors that come to Taylor to visit the guests linving in the home. "There are at least 30 to 50 people that come each week to visit in the Home." said the manager, "and I'm not counting local people from Taylor.'

Mr. Troubil said a day doesn't go by in which someone doesn't visit.

"These people usually come from distances and may spend a night in Taylor.

They Feat in local eating places, many do some shopping, and most of them probably fill up their car with gasoline before leaving Taylor," said Mr. Troubil.

Just to give an example of what is spent in Taylor by visitors, Mr. Troubil referred to his own family, which came to Taylor to visit him and his wife several weeks ago. They ate two meals in a local cafe and spent $20. They spent a little money on various other things, and bought a tank of gas. Had it not been for the Rest Home, that money would not have been spent in Taylor.

That is repeated each day by day by other visitors of the SPJST Rest Home on East Lake Drive.

SISTERS AND BROTHERS: Tenciosed report which covers the first three quarters of the year, shows that we have written a total of $1,430,000.00 of new insurance. We hate three months left. These are the best months of the year in which to write insurance. By diligent work, you will note this to be the fact in your community.

The crops will be harvested, the rush will be over and you will note, that most everyone will devote more attention to his life insurance program and will give you time to explain it to him. May I ask, that you help your solicitor in selling our different classes by supplying him with the names of those you know need this protection. Report the names of all, who may need our insurance, to your lodge solicitor.

I- thank you in behalf of our organizer, for any help you may give.

DEAR EDITOR AND READERS: If you have the time, I wish you would go through the old Vestnik before the Rest Home was organized. I was opposed to it for several reasons, but mainly because it was not presented to membership in true form. Most members thought it would be free for old deserving members, who were in bad financial conditions, or at least a low monthly payments. Now the monthly rental is $100 a sum entirely to high and very few members can afford it.

In every issue we see in big letters: "Remember the Rest Home." Yes, lots of members do remember the Rest Home.

But how long will it last? Sooner or later the free gifts will drop off. Therefore I would like to present a plan to be considered at the next convention: Every member of the SPJST at the age of 21 up to the age of 60 shall be assessed 10c per month for our Rest Home. Nobody will miss the 10 cents, and assuming there are 20,000 members in this age group, it would bring about $24,000 er year income. Part of this income could be used to take care of our old members who have no income at all or are in very low income groups, part could be used for additional improvements at the Home. But the main thing is, to take care of the old members that are unable to pay anything.

I hope members of our organization will give this matter some thought.

We now have the Rest Home, so let it be a institution worthy of our organization and a fine example to others of friendly co-operation of the members for the welfare of our Brotherhood.

Brother Editor, I would like to have your comment on this suggestion as well -as the comments of other officials and brothers and sisters of our organization.

With kindest regards to all, I am Fraternally yours, Hugo Freund West, Texas Editor's Note: Brother Freund, you will hear from me after others have had their "say so." ) • elt• • (_ NEWS FROM LODGE SAN ANTONIO Important Notice Please note the following change in the address of our Lodge treasurer.

We had a small program, hope you all enjoyed it. We really did give our youth director, Mrs. Bennie Matejka a hard time, trying to teach each one his or her part. Aunt Lillie, Mrs. Julie Cech, and Grandma and Grandpa Vytopil helped a lot.

Her talk is expected to be very informative and inspiring to all the youth present, their parents, and to the many local, district, and state SPJST leaders present.

Sister C'eska is especially qualified to speak on this occasion and on this subject because she has long been associated with the SPJST and with youth activities in general, Her entire family has long been active in SPJST work at the Waco SPJST Linden Lodge No. 66 and she was youth leader, secretary, and an entertainment committee memb her of her lodge before being elected youth director of her district. Sister Ceska's experience in youth work is not restricted to the SPJST for she has been associated with the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Waco for the past ten years. Her diversity of experience in and knowledge of youth activities should provide much new interesting and valuable information for the youth and for everyone interested in SPJST youth activities.

Sister Cecka's address will be followed by the talent contest which promises to be very rewarding for the winners and most entertaining for everyone who attends. Handicraft exposition entries will be on exhibit all afternoon and prizes in all contests will be awarded near the end of the afternoon session.

The district meeting will start at 10:00 a.m. with registration and .a short business session. Members of the host Praha Lodge 29 will serve a lunch at noon and there will be adequate time for visiting with one another and viewing of the exhibits before the afternoon program starts at 2:00 p.m.

All lodges of District II are urged to have as many as possible of their members in attendance at this meeting, and visitors from other SPJST Districts and SPJST State officials are all cordially invited to attend the full day of activities. A full program of activities and other details will be published in the Vestnik. • All the youth of SPJST District II are invited and urged to prepare entries for the various contests if they have not already done so. Full particulars on the prizes may be found in the proceeding issues of the Vestnik.

DEAR GIRLS: The crops are in for most folks and with the herald of autumn, celebrations are called for to give thanks for the blessed harvest, to relax and to share the joyous bounty with man's brother.

That means, however, that man's woman has to prepare the feast, for what is festivity but in visiting, the eating, drinking and being merry!

Autumn, on the other hand is good to the man's woman for the larder is full of shiny red apples perfuming the place, golden sweet potatoes (Yams as I knew them) yellow squash, pumpkins, Irish potatoes, pears, and grapes, plus countless other things that the housewife had canned, lining her shelves, a constant joy to her now and the long hot days over the stove are all forgotten! For the city housewife, her supermarket is her larder of fresh and varied foodstuffs.

So while men bring in the fiddlers to do-si-do, and merriment shakes the rafters, the housewife brings out the apple cider, fruit punch and platters heaping with aromatic doughnuts, tender-rich and crisp or her sugared "fried pies" which the children adore any time, a "trick or treat." Even the dough-nut holes fried and sprinkled with a mixture of 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, or glazed with a cup of confectioner's sugar moistened with a teaspoon of milk, proves a delight ful novelty for them.

At long-aga harvests, fried pastries (little fruit filled pies) also delighted the autumn merrymakers. The housewife of yesteryear made her pie fillings from thin slices of fruit. Today we use canned or fresh apples, peaches,' pears or prune-plum, placed on half .rounds of Pie dough, sprinkled with a mixture of

14 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar and a dab of butter. Then the edges were moistened and the blank half of the round dough was brought over to cover the fruited half of the round, pressed with a fork to seal and gently lowered into deep hot fat to fry (365 to 375 degrees) for three to five minutes or until golden brown on both sides and again gently lifted out and placed on absorbent ppper to drain. Instead of fruit, jam or jelly from the home larder was used.Dusted with powdered sugar these pies were delicious warm or cold.

For the pastery: two cups of all purpose flour was sifted together with 3/4 teaspoons salt, 3 teaspoons baking powder into a bowl. Then 1/4 cup shortening was cut in to meal consistency and 2/3 cups milk was blended into this mixture and turned out on a floured board and rolled out to 1/8 inch thick. Four inch rounds (soucer size) were then made, yielding 9 or 10 pies.

Packaged pastry dough can be used with an excellent result. This would make a good Halloween treat.

A good many of you are canning your pears. There seems to be a bountiful crop. I would like to give you an unusual pear preserve to add to your pantry shelves. Its different from the straight pear monotony.

Wash, peel, core and mash pears to make three cups. Combine with 4 1/2 cups undrained crushed pineapple, 1/4 cup ' lemon juice, 7 1/2 cups sugar and 3/4 teaspoon whole anise seed. Bring to full rolling boil, stirring occasionally and boil 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin and skim. Pour into hot sterlized jars and seal. Makes about 10 half pints. I hope your family likes this mystery pear blend.

Our little town of West still echoes with ginning and long lines of empty wagons line both sides of the streets for owners to pick up in the morning after all-night ginning.

Several new families have ' fallen in love with our pretty town nestled in McLennan County under the nose of Waco, and we are most proud that they chose us instead of some place else. We sincerely hope they will like us.

It was heartwarming to note that our new High School principal has issued a directive whereby our young high school lasses must don dresSes for school hours. The wearing of tight jeans, toreadore trousers, pedal pushers or slacks is out. His high regard for femininity places him high on our list as a gentleman for us older women. He's trying to keep them as sweet, young and pretty ai God intended girls to be, commanding a proper degree of respect, even if out

Sbrana 22 young ladies can't see it sometimes. For the young men, belts are a must, to keep their sliding britches from falling off their hipless torso, and shirts buttoned up and if the collar is worn open, it must be turned down. These are proprietous rules which more principals (and parents) should insist upon.. The days of the hobo, the bum and the sloppy joe attire are over, and young people privileged to matriculate in our institutes of learning should carry about them some pride and dignity of what they and their school stands for. Everywhere else in the world, "Student" is respected and honored and the "Student" in turn feels a certain responsibility of respect for his school and calling. We have some fine looking young people in our town, and I sincerely hope they take their principal's ruling with the same spirit of respect and sportsmanship as the rulings of their football coaches, and athletic director.

It's raining again. Your Editor just phoned to see if I'm home to close the windows. Brings to mind the poem I learned one rainy afternoon for school witten by Robert Louis Stevenson. Many of you remember his "Child's Garden of Verses." It goes: The rain is raining all around, It falls on fields and trees.

It's raining on umbrellas here, And' ships upon the sea.

The sailors sing of far Japan, The sailors sing of Spain, The organ with the organ man, Is singing in the rain.

I too, am singing with this rain for it spells new life for those tiny seeds that I planted in the warm bosom of mother earth and from which I shall serve your Editor lettuce, tender, crisp, so wonderful in a herb-spiced vinegar, or wilted In melted butter with a touch of vinegar. rum, Yum! I'm most anxious to hear what's new in Food Editor's Convention being held in New York. Here exciting new dishes are brought tiefore the public. Also the $25,000 prize winning recipe is won among the participating women from all over America. With so many women working, new ways and means of cooking, serving and even packaging foods are devised for the working Mrs. America. She does the buying, she represents millions of dollars in food money, so they do try to cater to her and it is amazing with what they come up. Take the French's Mashed Potatoes — isn't it short of a miracle. The commercial sings: "And you'll never peel another spud as long as you live!" What's next.

clock in the morning. We stopped at Bastrop Park anti d a picnic lunch. We had no trouble finding Kovar and this was a good thing or we would have been late for the meeting. We arrived there about ten minutes until 1 p.m. and by the time we got everything arranged the meeting got underway at 1:30 p.m.

Mrs. E. J. Mari added two very nice membeis to out proa lam and also Miss Betty Trcalek had memorized a welcome in the Czech language which added much to our program. In all we had 23 children in our program and I think it turned out very well.

I want to thank all the mothers that helped prepare this program, especially Mrs. Bennie Matejka and Mrs. Charlie Cech. Also Mrs. 1Viaresh and Mrs. Willie Trcalek. Thanks go to Mr. Batina for his good service which helped very much and all the others that helped clear the stage and move furniture etc. It was indeed a great pleasure working with these people.

Everyone that was there w i ll know what I mean when I say that the re- , freshments were simply out of this world. I honestly say that I never saw so many goodies and that good coffee was swell. I could hardly wait for the meeting to adjourn after they started brewing the coffee. Czech women just can't be beat when it comes to cooking when we go anywhere to a SPJST fair I always know that there will be something good to eat.

DALLAS , SOKOL NEWS We haven't written to the Vestnik in such a long time, but we hope we will be forgiven. It's generally known by now that we have vacated our old home and are ready to build a new gymnasium.

Events of the summer ' • Slets" haw passed and they were a thrilling experience.

Starting October 1, for a 30 day period we will conduct a public fund drive to cal a funds for our new gym. We were fortunate this past week to have Senator Fannin L. Hruska of Nebraaca in DAlas as a participant in the National Water Shed Congress. Senator Hruska being of Czech descent and as a former Sokol from Omaha was honor gnest at a banquet Sunday, September 28 in the Sta!let- Hilton Hotel. It was through the efforts of Brother Hugo Schefcalt. that I he Czech-Americans in and around atllas were audience to such a distinguished senator. Although the banquet was to serve as the kick-off for Sokol's fund drive, all of the Czech organizations in the vicinity were invited to attend. Senator Hruska gave a wonder full speech included were ' stories of famous Czechs in the world, of the important part the different Czech organ-, izations : have played in helping America to grow. Since Sokol is in the midst of a fund drive we would like to write a few eXcerpts from the senator's speech.

"One of the greatest attributes to Sokol is its physical c;iacation program.

No more than 30 years ago gymnasiums in schools was a relatively new thing, therefore Sokols have 'played a most important part in –the: community, still there is a spirit , in- Sokol that cannot be gotten any where else.

"Throughout -the history of Sokol whereever there has been a Sokol you don't hear so much about juvenile delinquency. This was proved in Omaha, Neb. Where a chart of the city was made and by using different colored pins for different kinds of delinquencies in the sec-

Wednesday, October 8, 1958 sion where there was a Sokol, even though generally considered the tough part of town, there weren't so many pins as on other sections.

"Sokol is a Czech decendant and even as Americans should not loose the cultures of their native country too soon, because America is still a young country, being only about 350 years old. All the songs, holiday customs and cultures of all the different countries which make up America is what makes America so great and so colorful. All of these different cultures go toward building a better America.

"Each person and each community is as important as any other and though we wouldn't be too much affected by the loss of just one community we certainly couldn't get along without all the communities. The importance bestowed upon individuality is the difference between a Dictatorship and a Democracy!

Strain, 30 I DONT CARE I don't care! — Four times within a week the writer hears those words. The very expression, so common-place in our conversation is frightening.

First, they were spoken by a child selfishly demanding a better dress than her plainly-garbed mother could obviously afford. To every explanation, the child's answer was, "I don't care; this is what I want."

Next, it was a parent summoned before the police magistrate for the misbehavior of a son. Asked whether he knew his boy's associates, he retorted, "I don't care who they are."

Then it was a husband confronted with divorce proceedings; and, lastly a 27-year-old man facing the penitentiary for armed robbery. By willful deed, as well as by word, each of these was Intent upon breeding heartache and disaster.

How often do we say, "I don't care," when some detail in our work demands closer attention than we have been giving it; or some responsibility in our home tries our patience. They are tragic Words too lightly spoken, too quickly fatal.
